A Man of Honor

Aesop has a Fable - "The Ass and His Purchaser"

A man wished to purchase an Ass (a Donkey), and decided to give the animal a test before buying him. He took the Ass home and put him in the field with his other Asses.
The new Ass strayed from the others to join the one that was the laziest and the biggest eater of them all.
Seeing this, the man led him back to his owner. When the owner asked how he could have tested the Ass in such a short time, the man answered, "I didn't even need to see how he worked. I knew he would be just like the one he chose to be his friend."

In Texas we have a saying that follows Aesop's story, "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are". When we look to a Presidential candidate we should look at his friends and who his supporters are because it speaks to their character. Do they 'pal around with an un-repentant domestic terrorist'? Have they done business with companies that have profited from the economic melt-down?

Gov. Rick Perry has released a video that shows the type of men he keeps company with. They are men of honor, in fact, they are Men of the Highest Honor this Nation can bestow upon any of our Citizen Soldiers, they are Navy Cross recipients and Congressional Medal of Honor recipients.  These men share many of the same characteristics, Duty, Honor, Heroism and they all support Gov. Perry For President and above that, they all call him "Friend".

So judge Rick Perry as Aesop 'Purchaser' did. He is the man, in the words of his friends, "who is the best person to serve as the Commander in Chief;  to serve as the President of the United States". A Man of Honor.
